Well, here is a quick twist to add when preparing your chapati that you will definitely love.
INGREDIENTS
3 Cups all purpose flour
water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
oil (enough to prepare dough and cook)
1 large onion thinly sliced
1/2 cup grated carrots
PREPARATION METHOD
In a cooking pan put two tablespoons of oil, let it heat for a few seconds then add the thinly sliced onions. Fry them until they turn golden brown then add the grated carrots. Let it cook the carrots cook for around five minutes or until they appear crunchy. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Using your clean hands mix the flour, salt, sugar, carrot mixture and cooking oil in a bowl kneading at the same time. Add some water and continue kneading until you have a smooth dough.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Knead the flour well again for around five minutes and roll it out on a flat surface. Using a spoon or a kitchen brush apply some oil on the flattened dough then divide it into reasonable sizes. Dust the balls with some flour to avoid sticking on the surface.
Heat a clean chapati pan or heavy skillet over a medium flame. Lightly grease the pan.
Roll out the dough balls as the pan continues to heat and slowly start cooking the first chapati. Cook on one side until it turns lightly brown then flip and cook the other side. Then add about a teaspoon of oil on each sides of the chapati and press the chapati while turning it around the pan with a spoon until it turns darker brown. Remove and place it in a warm dish then cover it to keep it warm.
Repeat this for every chapati.
Serve with meat or vegetable stew. It can also be accompanied with tea.
